Baked apples are the kind of simple cold-weather dessert that never goes out of style, especially when served with some lovely vanilla frozen yogurt or ice cream. Serve them with yogurt for a terrific snack or breakfast.
Ingredients
- 6 apples
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup chopped dried cherries or raisins
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp grated nutmeg
- 1/2 cup apple cider or apple juice
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 2 tsp cornstarch
Preparation
In bowl, combine brown sugar, dried cherries, cinnamon and nutmeg; pack into apples. Place in 4- to 5-quart (4 to 5 L) slow cooker. Whisk together apple cider and butter; pour over apples.
Cover and cook on low, basting several times, until wrinkly and very tender, about 3 to 4 hours. Transfer apples to shallow serving dish and keep warm.
Whisk cornstarch with 1 tbsp (15 mL) cold water; whisk into liquid in slow cooker. Cover and cook on high until sauce is thickened, about 15 minutes. (Make-ahead: Let apples and sauce cool separately. Store at room temperature for up to 8 hours or refrigerate in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Rewarm to serve.)
Drizzle sauce over apples.
Additional information : Test Kitchen Tip
Choose Northern Spy, Spartan or Golden Delicious apples – they're reliable for their firm shapeliness, even when cooked.
